Report N2 (added on April, 27, 2005)

Was corresponding with this woman for a few weeks. She initially wrote to me through a dating website and asked me to respond directly to her email address (svmisty@list.ru). After only a few days her profile had been removed from the dating website. It appeared to be a bit suspicious as emails looked liked they had been copied and pasted directly from online translation webpages even though she had learnt English at university. She was not prepared to give a phone number or use any messenger services to maintain contact and did not provide any address details when asked. Suggestions of meeting in Russia were ignored and a foreign trip was clearly out of the question due to costs.

After several weeks a best friend called Veronica was introduced. The following week Veronica sent an email from the same email address that Svetlana used and informed me of a serious car accident that Svetlana was involved in. Svetlana apparently was in a coma with serious injuries that required an operation costing several thousand dollars and I was asked to help with the costs. I later found her name on this website and another antiscam website.
